Chapter 412
Ellis chuckled bitterly when he heard what she said.

….
He just couldn’t understand why Mary was so persistent about having this amniocentesis done.

He had already gone through three exams, which all showed he had azoospermia; he couldn’t have children…

When Keira was about to leave, Uncle Olsen asked all seven brothers to accompany her and Mary to the car.

On the way to the parking lot.

Charles couldn’t help but lean in. “Little sister, do you want to know what happened to Howard and his mother?”

Keira couldn’t help but glance at him.

Charles was the youngest son.

He had been calling her “little sister” before, and Keira didn’t correct him, but now…

Keira coughed. “How old are you?”

Charles said, “Little sister, I’m about to celebrate my 21st birthday soon. I’m studying at Tsipin University.”

Tsipin University was the top-ranked institution in the country, located in Clance.

These children of wealthy families might be able to spend money to attend famous overseas universities, but Tsipin University wasn’t so easy to get into.

Being a student of Tsipin University meant Charles was indeed a scholarly type.

Keira couldn’t help but twitch her lips. “I’m about to turn 23 years old.”

The somewhat naive Charles still hadn’t realized the problem. “Oh, and then? Little sister, do you want a birthday present?”

Keira was speechless.

She said, “My point is, you should be calling me ‘big sister’.”

Charles fell silent.

He was stunned!

Keira then looked toward the Olsen family’s sixth son. “How old are you?”

He smiled and said. “I’m older than you, I’m 23 years and one month old!”

Charles couldn’t believe it.

He felt like crying, as he had thought the family finally had a younger sister, but it turned out this “younger sister” was actually an older cousin!

He wasn’t happy about it!

However, this didn’t affect his affection toward Keira as he leaned in close again. “Then, dear big little sister, do you know what happened to Howard and his mother?”

Keira thought, “What’s with this mess of a title?”

But Charles had a face similar to the faces of Ellis and James. However, his was full of innocence and the clear-eyed look characteristic of university students…

He looked quite endearing.

She asked, “What happened to them?”

Charles chuckled. “Just now, I saw Uncle Olsen instructing the bodyguards. They sent them off to a pyramid scheme organization, which specializes in human trafficking to some countries to the east. Their fate is to be sold off!”

Keira didn’t see that coming.

She couldn’t help but twitch her lips. “Wait, does our family even deal in that kind of business?”

James immediately explained. “Of course not. You mustn’t have any misunderstandings about our family! Our business is quite diverse, so we have those kinds of connections. Everything else is legal and compliant.”

Keira then nodded in relief.

After all, this was Crera!

But she didn’t notice that after James finished talking about being legal and compliant, Ellis glanced at him and sneered a little.

Feeling the ridicule from his older brother, James coughed and covered up his moment of unease.

As they chatted, they arrived at the parking lot.

The car the real Keera drove in Clance was a black Chery, a domestic brand fitting for Keera’s style and economic status.

Charles noticed the car and immediately said. “Dear sister, let me give you a better car! Isn’t it inappropriate for you to drive this old thing?”

Keira, however, smiled. “I’m used to it; it’s pretty good.”

Here is the revised text with corrections for grammar and coherence:

Now, this car had already been sent for modifications by Lewis. The engine had been replaced, the windows had been changed to bulletproof glass, and even the metal shell had been replaced with composite materials used for manufacturing airplanes. All of this was because Lewis feared she might encounter some crisis again. It just looked unassuming on the outside, but in reality, whether it was about driving performance or safety, it was much stronger than a regular car.

Charles wanted to say something more, but James lowered his voice and said, “Sister, although Mr. Horton made his stance clear today, you also can’t go too far. This gigolo, although he looks rather good, you should also consider Mr. Horton. That kind of person is a real talent. Your gigolo is a college graduate who’s interested only in your money. Don’t be deceived!”

Keira was speechless. Where on earth did Lewis resemble a fresh college graduate?! He was twenty-eight years old, okay?! She twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded. Finally, after bidding farewell to her seven brothers, she got into the car with Mary.

Keira sat in the passenger seat. Mary went to sit in the back seat, without giving Ellis another glance. The car started moving quickly. Mary sighed silently, not wanting the trouble of seeing Ellis to disturb Keira’s happiness, so she found a topic and said, “Keira, what’s the deal with Lewis anyway? Are you really going to marry that second-hand old man?”

Keira didn’t know what to say. She silently glanced at Lewis. She saw the man’s gaze fixed straight ahead, a sharp glint flashing in his deep eyes, and she immediately coughed once, turning to Mary. “Well, actually, Lewis is quite nice.”

Mary frowned. “He’s quite nice with a family background beyond reproach, but you still have to choose between the gigolo and Lewis, right?”

Upon hearing this, Lewis immediately glanced at Keira with the corner of his eye. He saw her blink and reply slowly, “Only children make choices. Adults, like me, want them all!”

Mary was shocked. The corners of Lewis’s lips couldn’t help but curl up. He suddenly remembered when he first met Keira, after she had picked up his grandmother, she had called him saying, “Your elder is in my hands…” At the time, he thought this girl was really cheeky! Now, she finally regained some of her past playful charm and didn’t look so burdened anymore.

Meanwhile, the Olsen family members had already returned home. James, with his head down, was somewhat unhappy. “Uncle Olsen, Ellis, do you think Keira refuses to move back home because she holds a grudge against me?”

Ellis didn’t even bother to speak to his younger brother. Uncle Olsen didn’t pay him any attention, either. It was Charles who comforted him. “I think it’s alright. When she spoke to you, there was a smile in her eyes.”

“Really?” James’s eyes lit up, but soon he became puzzled again. “Then why does she refuse to come back home? Is there someone she dislikes in this house?”

Those words stunned everyone briefly, and then their gazes turned in unison to Victoria. Victoria was speechless. Feeling like a lamb among tigers under the gaze of her seven brothers, she quickly said, “I did have misunderstandings with Keira before knowing her identity, but we’ve already made up…”

“Is that so?” James stroked his chin. “Has she forgiven you then?”

Victoria didn’t know what to say. She twitched the corner of her mouth and lowered her head, her eyes flashing with resentment. The seven brothers were definitely doing this on purpose! They were pushing her to apologize to Keira. She sighed and suddenly said, “It’s my fault. If it’s because of me that she doesn’t want to return home, then perhaps I should move out first…” She put on a tearful expression and slowly lifted her head. She was expecting to face pleas and persuasion, but what she encountered was…
